<p>Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) was announced at the Ignite conference last year and back then Microsoft made it available only for private preview. Now, all Windows Insiders can test WVD.</p>
<p>Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) allows you to virtualize Windows 7, Windows 10, Office 365 ProPlus or even third-party applications. WVD uses Azure virtual machines for running virtualizations in remote desktop sessions.</p>
<p>Microsoft wants to keep virtualization partners relevant so they will be adding integrations with WVD.</p>
<p>One of the integrated features is Samsung&#8217;s DeX, thanks to Microsoft&#8217;s collaboration with Samsung. With the DeX feature, customers can plug any Samsung Galaxy smartphone into their monitor and then use it as a desktop.</p>
<p>At the Citrix summit, Microsoft said that they can integrate WVD into Citrix Workspace, Virtual apps, and other services.</p>
<p>If you would like to test WVD, you will need a Windows Insider account, Azure subscription, and Microsoft 356 F1, E3 or E5, Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 subscriptions, along with Windows VDA for Windows 7 or Windows 10.</p>
